Day 187

Dear Daddy,

Today was kind of a crappy day for me. Last night I had a rough night-something scared me so much, or my teeth were hurting me so bad-mommy doesn't know but she had to spend a good 15-20 minutes in with me just settling me down.

As soon as I got up in the morning, we had to leave and go to mommy's doctor. She was so mean and rushed us ready and made us wait to eat till we got there (which wasn't awful, we arrived 45 minutes after I got up) but she did it so we'd have to wait as little of time as possible.

I was kind of good the whole time, but was restless, understandably, since I was stuck in my stroller. By the time we got back into the room to see the doctor, I was full-on freaking out and not even puffs were making me happy. It was an interesting time, and I was even the one screaming while mommy had to get two shots in unpleasant places.

We rushed out of there, rushed to the pharmacy to drop off mommy's medicine, grabbed mommy lunch because she felt the need for something unhealthy, and by the time we got home this is the mean look I was giving mommy:
Mommy changed my diaper and put me right to bed... I slept till FOUR o'clock! And GUESS what mommy saw that is really and truly there now? My TOOTH! You can actually see it coming through the gums, and you can feel the very top of it... mommy gave me Motrin before bed, just preventatively, and hopefully maybe it'll be through tomorrow!

We had to run a couple of errands and pick up mommy's medicine. I was chewing anything I could find... including my shoe and shoe strap.
Why is it that a good majority of pictures are now taken in my high chair?!

Mommy thinks that in this picture I look exactly like you and her both.
Here is that first little tooth... mommy circled it on the copied picture so you could see! (It's really, of course, far easier to see in real life.)
I'm getting ready for you to come home and see me-I'm perfecting the puppy dog eyes already.
I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
